Viewtiful Joe: Difference between revisions

Line 94:

{{quote| '''Alastor''': "We're supposed to be enemies, but you treat me like I'm your cousin or something."}}

* [[Genre Savvy]]: Joe, Alastor, and quite a few others. Justified to the extreme in that they are all characters in an action movie and are entirely aware of that fact. Oddly, the first game's main villain, {{spoiler|King/Captain Blue}}, ''averts'' this Trope; he's supposed {{spoiler|to be the guy who makes these films, and knows their cliches and ideas in and out}}, so [[Fridge Logic|how is he not a more dangerous threat if he's got those traits]]?

** It's [[Wild Mass Guessing|possible]] that {{spoiler|being part of Movieland as the [[Big Bad]]}} binds him to the associated tropes [[But Thou Must!|whether he wants to play them straight or not]], the way the other characters act according to their own [[Troperiffic]] roles as [[The Hero]], [[The Rival]], [[Femme Fatale]], [[Goldfish Poop Gang]], ~~ect~~.

* [[Genre Shift]]: In the very last level of the first game, when you find out the main villain is none other than {{spoiler|Captain Blue}}, Joe makes very few jokes, and the end of the game is a little more serious than the others.

* [[Glasses Girl]]: Silvia and Sprocket.

* [[A God Am I]]: {{spoiler|Captain Blue.}}

** {{spoiler|Jet Black}} also works.

** {{spoiler|Both have a [[My God, What Have I Done?]] reaction after Joe beats them back to their senses; Jet Black in ~~particluar~~ claims that he was being controlled by the Black Film, and in doing so hints that there was [[Man Behind the Man|someone else controlling him]]. The third game probably would have addressed that...}}

* [[The Good Captain]]: Captain Blue, of course!

* [[Guide Dang It]]: Most of the bosses.

Line 176:

* '''[[Rule of Cool]]'''

* [[Running Gag]]: Whenever Alastor is defeated, he appears to "die" honorably. The narrator gets very sentimental over this. However, Alastor usually appears ''immediately'' afterwards to lament his lack of screen-time; in the first game [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|he appeals directly to the players]], and in ''2'' he speaks with Jet.

⚫

* [[Sentai]]: An [[Affectionate Parody]].

* [[Second-Hour Superpower]]: Joe's titular V-Watch.

* [[Sentai]]: An [[Affectionate Parody]].

* [[Sequel Hook]]: [[Invoked Trope]] at the end of the first game and the second game.

** And ''Double Trouble''.

Line 221:

* [[Twincest]]: More than likely unintentional, but in the first game, all playable characters have the exact same actions in their cutscenes. Meaning that Silvia attempting to make out with Joe during the game's intro sequence carries through with Silvia and her sister Goldie.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlS8tjoKFCs&feature=related You can infer for yourself if this was unintentional or not.]

* [[The Unintelligible]]: Applies to cutscenes for the extra characters in the first game. Most of the dialogue is ~~pre-existing~~ audio scrambled and played backwards. For [[Secret Character]] [[Rule of Funny|Dante]], his lines come from the original ''[[Devil May Cry]]''.

* [[Updated Rerelease]]: The first game had a [[No Export for You|Japan-only]] one called ''Viewtiful Joe: Revival'', which added a "Sweet" difficulty. This was also included in the [[Polished Port|PS2 version]].

* [[Unreliable Narrator]]: The Narrator persistently attempts to make Joe's showboating look heroic.
